Outrageous Fortune
BYXOPBIBt Carotins Leigh has
left Jim Randal, her comm. hiding
at Hale Place, where he was
reared, while she goes to London
to look up Nesta Kiddell's mar
rlags record. Neeta says Jim Is her
hueband, and that he not only stole
the Van Berg emeralds, but shot
JSlmer Van Berg. Jim's memory is
gone, althouah he recalls drinking
uith Van Berg. A u-omafl on (ha
train remarks that the notice are
taking finger print from glasses
found at the van Bergs; Caroline
follows her, learns that a gage is
milting from the book in which
Van Berg kept the finger prints of
hie friends and that the misting
page bore the Initials "J. tt." Hhe

ercrptlng the former addresses of
Xeeta and her husband.
Chapter 11
ON THE TRAIL
CAROLINE! turned to the left, and
she turned, to the right; then
she turned to the left again and ar
rived at Saracen Row. It was a
narrow street of prim, decent
houses. No. 14 was about half way
down on the right-hand side.
She rang the bell, and presently
the door was opened by a thin mid-die-aged
woman In a Ulae overall.
Her drab hair was curled across
ber forehead under a net She
looked as It she had been lnter
rupted In the middle ot her cook
ing, for her (ace was flushed and
damp, and there was a dab of flour
on her sleeve.
"Why do you always
"I'm. so sorry to trouble you,"
said Caroline, "but was a Mr.
James Rlddell living here In July?"
"You've made a mistake," said
the thin woman, and moved to shut
the door. The smell o' cabbage
came up behind her.
Caroline took a Quick step for
ward. With one part of her mind
she wondered why people who lived
In small houses nearly alwaya had
cabbage for lunch; with another
part she was thinking, "I mustn't
let her shut the door." ,
"Oh please," ahe said "won't
you try and help me!"
"I don't take gontlemen lodgers."
She had a tight voice and a polite
accent.
"He gave this address," said
Caroline. "Ton don't know thp
name at all?"
"Sorry I don't," said the thin wo
man, and made such a decided
movement to shut the door that
Caroline stepped back and next
moment found herself looking at the
shabby letter-box. The cabbage was
but In, and she was shu. out.
Whoever Jim Rlddell might be, It
seemed pretty clear that he had
given a false address. She won
dered what had made him pitch on
this one. Perhaps the name bad
stuck In bis mind. Saracen Row It
was the sort ot name that might
stick. And us for the number, 14
was as good as any another.
SKIS went back to drove Road and
rang the bell ot No. I.
Here was quite a different type of
landlady a stout rolling person
with a bibulous eye and an easy,
jolly tongue. Ot course she remem
bered Miss Williams
"Why, she was marrlod from here
and a pity she couldn't have a
proper wedding. After all, you
can't get married that way only
once, with a wroath and a veil, and
white satin slippers."
"Oh, yes," said Carolina. "And
(bout Miss Williams?"
"Ah! She's In the handsomo,
haughty style, I was more clinging
a way with me, If you understand
what I mean a bit on the playful
side. It goes down with the gentle-
men especially If they're In the
strong silent way thomselves. It's

PHOENIX, Oot. 34. (Spl.) An
Item In Sunday's paper, advertising
a meeting of the Neighbor of Wood
NOW IS THE
TO BUY
the little fellows that fall for' the
big upstanding girls."
Caroline's heart Jumped. She
said quickly and breathlessly,
"The man Miss Williams married
was he small I"
"Never set eyes on him. Tes, you
may well look surprised. 'The mys
tery man,' I called him, and One and
angry she was 'And what do you
mean by that, Mrs. HawklnsT'
'Why I said, 'when a young lady
keeps her young gentleman as dark
as you do yours meeting hint
round the 'corner and not so much
as letting him see you home well,
she must expect remarks to be
passed, and whether she expects It
or not, passed they will be.'
"Really, you know, she'd a violent
temper, for I'd hardly got the words
out of my lips, when .he was
through the door and banged It so
hard that my first-floor-front came
out on the landing to know what
was up. 'Tempers,' I said. 'And mys
tery or no mystery, I'm sorry for the
man that marries her, for she's one
ot those that'll have the upper hand
or bust herself.' "
"Was she here long!" said Caro
line. "Took the room (or three weeks
and came and went. You've got to
live three weeks In a district before
yon can get married there, so she
make fun of Robert?"
left a bag, and she'd be here for
day and gone for a week and I'm
not saying I wasn't Just as pleased,
because the opinion I got ot her was
that If she'd been here the whole
throe weeks, she'd hare been run
ning the show, and me doing odd
Jobs and cleaning the boots and
knives."
Caroline felt an affection for thi
bibulous lady. She felt that way
ahout Nesta herself. She was a
little cheered; but at the same time
she didn't really seem to be making
any progress.
"And you never saw the man she
married?"
"No one In this house so much SB
set eyes on him," said thefat wo
man regretfully.
IT was after six when Caroline got
got back to the cottage. Shs
found Pntsy Ann sitting pensively
on the honrth-rug. She had a thimble
on the middle linger of her right
hand, and some blue velvet, a
needle-case, a spool of silk, and two
pairs of scissors In her lap.
But she was not sewing; she did
not seem even to have got as far
as threading one of the needles.
When the door opened, she was
gating Into the Are, which was on
the point ot going out. Without
turning her head, she said.
"nobert Arbuthnot has been
here.
"My poor thing! What's gone
wrong now?"
"I don't see why anything should
have gone wron."
"Robert doesn't generally come
unless It has. Why, It's only a
month slnco he dropped In to say
your Boot Sugar bonds had de
faulted on Interest. What Is It this
time?"
"Robert came to lunch."
"He always does and breaks the
glad news over the coffee."
Patsy's head came up suddenly.
"Why do you always ni.-ke tun ot
Robert? I think It's very wrong ot
you! I'm sure it's very good ot him
to take so much trouble over our
affairs besides), this vas different."
